Hello, I have 50 or more photos of the assembly stage of my project and most of the photos are just over the size limit. They are in the 1.1 to 1.3size. How do I resize so I can post the photos. thanks, karl

Photoshop has a resize item. On Elements it's the top menu, Image/Resize. I use it for funky clipping things that I do.

For bulk conversions I have a Nikon camera and use their ViewNX. It doesn't seem to be locked to Nikon (but does handle raw -> JPEG conversions with adjustments) but I've used it for straight jpeg-jpeg resizings too.

If you have Windows XP, download this freebie

The resizing tool that wtm442 mentions is by far the easiest resizing tool I've ever used. Just download the application. Then all you ever need to do to resize a photo is right click the file name of the photo you want to resize and then choose "resize pictures." It gives you the option of large, medium or small. Once you pick the size, it makes a copy of the photo with the exact same file name except the word small, medium or large as been added to the name. It makes emailing photos or anything else so much easier.

Karl,

Here is one that I did using the Microsoft Image Resizer. It is much easier than doing it with my photo program.

I second the tool that Warren recommended. Makes resizing fast and easy.

BTW Warren - Glad to see you retired the Amish piano playing turtle.

Twobjshelbys,

Thanks. That is the Battleship Missouri when it was moored at Bremerton Washington. They had it and another one there that I can't recall the name of but I spent quite a bit of time on the Missouri just being overwhelmed by the immensity of it. And of course there was the spot of wood they kept in the deck where the Japs signed the surrender.

So you like my hung-over coffee drinking troll better than my piano playing turtle, huh?

How about my Cobra girl friend?

How about one of you and BB making out on the park bench that collapsed? And Fred said that you have to pay for it, he isn't responsible for your trying to impress the kids with having the biggest girlfriend.

That's a lie. I never "made out" with BB, but I did do some "bouncing with Bertha".

Warren,

Well no one is going to ask you to pick them a blind date for sure. I think I would prefer BB to Bertha. Heck I would even take Frenchy and her group.
